Have air cooling design hit a brick wall or what : /
I mean I have nothing against the Hyper series, great little coolers, but it appears the only way to go forward is adding another freaking tower and end up like a D14.
After that it's basically waterblocks.

I honestly didn't even think about that. Next time I'll say groovy
Or I'll post a picture of Bloo from Foster's Home and say it's Icy Chill

Pretty much. Did you see any of the coolers companies were showing off at Computex? Gigantic. I think they could still tweak the fins and the heatpipes (arrangement and the fluid inside), but after that it's all up to the mass and volume and all that jazz.
Thermalright and/or Noctua will think of something eventually.
